Document types covered include letters of agreement, contract document drawing sets and addenda sketches, specifications, schedules and budgets. Effective From: Fall 2010

INT 350 - History of Furniture (3-0-3)
Prerequisite: AD 161 and AD 162 or equivalent; or Arch 251, 252 and 381. Survey course studying the history and characteristics of furniture design from antiquity to the present day. Study of social and design forces influencing furniture. Students will analyze furniture in terms of style, aesthetic intent, construction and materials, ergonomics, universal/barrier-free accessibility, sustainability, and technology. Major stylistic movements will be discussed. Effective From: Fall 2009

INT 351 - Furniture Design (2-3-3)
Prerequisites: INT 264 or ID 264 or DD 364 or FA 264 or Arch 264. Corequisite: Studio enrollment. This course is an introduction to the concepts, materials and construction technologies involved in the design and fabrication of furniture. It explores the relationship between ergonomics, comfort and function in the design of furniture for both site-specific environments and mass-produced applications. Course includes lectures, field trips and a variety of drawn, modeled, and built design projects. Effective From: Fall 2010
